Hi Everyone,
We have been so busy the last few months that I missed January's
newsletter and almost missed this month. We were recouperating
from the holidays and taking care of puppies. We are back on
track and I don't plan on missing one in the future.
We won a trip to Rome, Italy! We took this trip the end of January
which added to our already busy schedules. We had a great time
and hope to get back there again one day. Here is a picture of
us in front of "Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi)." We
threw in our coins, which is supposed to mean we will return
one day.

Many Blessings!

Tips for Training Your Pet
"Crate
Training"
All of our puppies are introduced to the crate while
they are here with us. We first put a crate in their area without
a
door -- most of the puppies sleep together in the crate(s).
We then start putting two to three puppies together in a crate
while we are cleaning and straightening their area each day.
Before we ship a puppy they are separated and in the crate
by themselves all night for at least a couple of nights before
they leave. We have had two or three crates on each side of
our bed at times -- it makes for a few long nights, but we
know it makes it much easier and more comfortable for them
to travel.
I found a great articles on crate training that I thought you
would enjoy -- Crate Training

GOLDEN RETRIEVER DRAWING
I received this wonderful drawing from Jacob. He loves Golden
Retrievers and wanted to share this picture. He was excited to
learn that he could draw a Golden, as he had never tried before!
We should always "try" because we have abilities we
aren't always aware of.

Thank you Jacob for sharing!

Dog Videos
I have another dog video to share. This is such a great story
of a man and his best friend. It is about friendship, love,
and a bond that is heartwarming. I hope you enjoy it as much
as I did.

The
FURminator DeShedding Tool
Before we know it our dogs will start shedding
their winter coats. We love The FURminator! It is expensive,
but worth every penny in our opinion. If you do try this amazing
tool -- USE it outside! You will be amazed at the hair it removes.
